Resources – February 2015

Our monthly roundup of resources useful for families with children who have special needs.

SENDirect
A new information website for people in England looking for local services, particularly those buying services with personal budgets who may wish to register on the site. It says “You can use SENDirect to contact providers of these services and negotiate a package that better suits your child. You can share your information with people in your child’s life so they can help as well. Your account lets you keep track of your conversations and lets you buy services once you have agreed them”. (By a consortium of 9 charities).

Talking Matters
Some word games and ways to reduce the anxiety that some children feel about writing tasks, (David Maythem, SEN Magazine).
